Description

This property is being offered to cash purchasers only and will be sold on a strictly sold-as-seen basis. Any offer must be accompanied by satisfactory, guaranteed and independently verifiable proof of funds.

Mitchells Sales & Lettings Glasgow are delighted to present this exceptional opportunity to acquire the substantial upper split-level duplex conversion of an impressive pre-1919 blonde sandstone villa, occupying an elevated position at the end of a peaceful residential no-through road within the highly sought-after Mount Florida district of Glasgow.

Arranged over two floors, the upper accommodation offers remarkable scale, flexibility and development potential. The property requires complete conversion, refurbishment and modernisation throughout, allowing the successful purchaser to reconsider the layout in its entirety and create a truly individual duplex home.

Once fully converted and refurbished, the accommodation could potentially provide an impressive three or four-bedroom apartment with a spacious lounge, kitchen and dining arrangement, two bathrooms and excellent scope to incorporate en-suite facilities.

The split-level configuration creates numerous possibilities. A purchaser may choose to form a large open-plan kitchen, dining and family room on one floor, with a separate formal lounge and bedroom accommodation arranged elsewhere. Alternatively, the space could be configured to provide a more traditional separate lounge and kitchen, depending on personal preference and the permissions obtained.

There is potential to create three particularly generous bedrooms or, subject to the chosen layout, four bedrooms suitable for family living, home working or guest accommodation. The extensive footprint may also allow for a principal bedroom suite with an en-suite shower room, alongside a separate family bathroom.

The scope is genuinely extensive. The property could potentially be transformed into a striking duplex apartment combining the proportions and character of a traditional sandstone villa with the style and practicality of modern two-level living.

Large families may appreciate the separation between living and sleeping areas, while professional buyers could use one of the proposed bedrooms as a private home office. Developers and investors may also recognise the potential to create an individual property that would stand apart from more conventional apartments within the area.

No final internal layout has been approved or guaranteed. All descriptions of three or four bedrooms, two bathrooms, en-suite facilities and possible kitchen, lounge or dining arrangements are conceptual and illustrate only the potential offered by the accommodation.

The neighbouring districts of Battlefield, Shawlands, Strathbungo and Queen's Park are all within convenient reach, providing a wider range of restaurants, leisure facilities, cultural attractions and independent businesses.

Queen's Park and Cathkin Park provide accessible green space, walking routes and recreational opportunities, while Hampden Park-Scotland's National Stadium-is also nearby. Prospective purchasers should be aware that the surrounding area can experience increased activity, traffic and parking restrictions during major sporting and entertainment events.

The combination of traditional residential character, excellent amenities and convenient access to the city centre has made Mount Florida particularly popular with professionals, couples and families.

Families considering independent education are also well served. Hutchesons' Grammar School is situated in nearby Pollokshields, while The Glasgow Academy has a Newlands campus on the Southside.

Other established Glasgow independent schools, including St Aloysius' College, The High School of Glasgow, Kelvinside Academy and The Glasgow Academy's main campus, can be reached through the city's road and public transport network.

Important Title, Planning and Condition Information

The upper duplex accommodation does not presently have a separate legal title from the remainder of the villa. A separate title may require to be created if the upper and lower parts of the property are sold as two individual units.

Any individual sale will be conditional upon the successful creation and registration of a separate legal title.

No representation or warranty is being made by the sellers or Mitchells Sales & Lettings that the existing arrangement has formal planning permission, building-warrant approval, completion certification or approval for use as an independently titled duplex apartment.

• Creation and registration of a separate legal title
• Existing and proposed residential use
• Planning permission and building-warrant requirements
• Structural condition and feasibility of the proposed works

• Installation of additional bathroom and en-suite facilities
